Summers off from law school, he joined the Buffalo Bill Wild West show, and traveled to London, where, what-ho, he ran into Yaw again.

The exhibition covers the sweep of Bonheur’s long career, including works as diverse as a painting of two rabbits nibbling on a carrot that she showed at the Paris Salon when she was 19; a portrait of “Buffalo Bill” Cody on horseback, whom she befriended when he performed his “Wild West” show in Paris during the Universal Exposition in 1889; and cyanotype photographs she experimented with in later life.

Stories of Dowie’s miracles abound, including one about Sadie Cody, a niece of Buffalo Bill Cody, a celebrity known for his Wild West Show, who said her spinal tumor was healed by Dowie’s prayers.

The crowd diverged at the bottom of the stairs, most heading to the World’s Fair, some going in the direction of the Wild West Show.
